Are they saying that the picture of my car has to be a picture I actually took with a camera, meaning that I can't submit a picture of my car taken by a photographer? My camera skills are god awful so if I were to submit a picture it would be from a photographer who has shot my car in the past.

you could get the photographer to sign off on the release form if you wanted to.

Also to add on to this question. if we bought the picture from a professional photographer I now own the photo correct? So i would sign off the photo?

If you OWN the photo, meaning owing the rights to it. Some photographers that sell photos are selling them for private use only, not distribution. Before you submit a photo that you did not take personally with your own camera I would check with the photographer. Obviously professional shots are ideal since we are looking for the best shots possible.

Like Wdeerfield said, you can have the photographer sign the release form if he is ok with the photo being used for this purpose. Several entries did that last year and it worked out fine. We are basically just looking for permission to print and distribute the photo.

Hope this clears it up for you guys. Let me know if you have any more questions.

lol you all know TMS wants my beast of a 99 323i gracing their calandar ehh its worth a shot, at least im a photographer. Might just let my friends use my photos of their cars as they have a better shot at this
